The VAT element will not be shown separately on the buyer’s invoice.
7 PAYMENTS
Purchaser - Our methods of payment are with bank transfer or debit card. All purchases must be paid in full the day after the sale and before any lot can be collected. Anyone who, for whatever reason, is unable to pay for their goods on the day of the sale or the day after must inform Nicholas Rudge as to when payment will be made. Credit card payments are not accepted.
Vendor – Vendors will normally receive proceeds of sale 10 working days after. However, where individual consigned Lots have sold for £500 or above Durrants reserve the right to hold payment until we have been paid by the purchaser. We also reserve the right to rescind a sale, if it is clear that having pursued all the usual channels Durrants are unlikely to receive payment on the Lot in question. In such circumstances, the Lot(s) involved will be reoffered in a later Sale with the sale reserve (if applicable).
8 ATTRIBUTION AND CONDITION OF LOTS - Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date, age, provenance and condition of any lot whether or not such statement forms part of the description of any such lot. Whether any such statement is made orally or in the catalogue it is an expression of opinion. Each buyer by making a bid for a lot acknowledges that he has satisfied himself fully as to the attribution and condition of the lot. If any damage is done to any lot at the viewing or before, during or after the sale, such damage shall be made good by the person committing such damage, principals being responsible for the acts of their servants, such damage to be assessed by the auctioneers.
